7) Never use oxygen
combustible gases, bottled
gases or high pressure
compressed gas as a power
source for this tool. The tool may
explode and cause serious

caught in moving parts. Also,
wear a protective hair covering to
prevent long hair from getting
caught in the tool.
18) Use the correct air connector.
The connector on the tool must
not hold pressure when the air
supply is disconnected. If the
wrong fitting is used, the tool can
be charged with air after being
disconnected and still be able to
drive a fastener.
9) Do not fire to hard materials.
Do not attempt to shoot toward
hard or brittle material such as
concrete, steel, or tile.
10) When operating tool, keep

17) After loading the fasteners,
never point the tool at yourself or
any bystanders.
SETTING
Your air tool is fully assembled
when you receive it. Before
using it, attach the air line and
desired air system accessories.
See figure below for the
recommended accessories and
connection order. Be sure the
air hose is depressurized when
installing or removing adapters
to the air line.
19) When connecting the air, the
tool can possibly fire the
fasteners. Therefore, remove all
the fasteners before connecting to
the air.
20) Do not depress the safe
bracket and the trigger when
loading.
21) If the fasteners are jammed,
disconnect the tool from the air
and remove the jammed
fasteners.
22) This tool is equipped with the
safe bracket that can adjust the
depth of the driver. When
adjusting the depth of the driver,
first disconnect the tool from the
air and rotate nut by thumb to
satisfactory position.
WARNING The warnings,
cautions, and instructions
explained in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by

CONNECTING THE TOOL TO
AN AIR SUPPLY
1) Determine if the tool needs
oil and, if necessary, place two
drops of oil in the air plug. If you
are using an automatic in-line
oiler, check and add oil if
necessary.
2) Turn the compressor on and
set the regulator to the proper
pressure for the size and type of
fasteners being used.
3) Connect the tool to the air
supply.
LOADING THE FASTENERS
1) Depress the lock to release
the movable magazine and pull
the magazine out fully as shown
below.
2) Place a full clip of the
specified type and size fasteners
on the fixed magazine, up to 100
fasteners may be loaded in the
magazine.
3) Push the movable magazine
assembly forward until it was
locked.
OPERATING THE TOOL
Test the driving depth in a
sample piece of wood before
using. If the fasteners are being
driven too far or not far enough,
adjust the regulator to provide
less air pressure or more air
pressure.
1) Connect the tool to the air
supply. Make sure the air
pressure is in correct range.
2) Load the fastener as above
the direction given in the LOAD
THE FASTENERS section.

3) Hold the body and press the
drive guide to the work surface.
Be sure the tool is straight and
then gently depress the trigger to
drive the fastener.
4) Lift the tool off the work
surface.
5) The tool has two driving
modes.
§ Put the nose on the work
surface, lightly push the tool
towards the working surface until
the safe bracket is depressed.
Depress the trigger to drive the
fastener.
§ Depress the trigger, then
repeatedly impact the safe
bracket. The tool can repeatedly
drive the fasteners. The tool will
drive one fastener when the safe
bracket is impacted one time.
REGULAR MAINTENANCE
1) Frequent, but not excessive,
lubrication is required for best
performance. Oil added through
the airline connection will
lubricate internal parts. An
automatic airline oiler is
recommended but oil may be
added manually before every
operation or after about 1 hour of
continuous use. Only a few
drops of oil at a time are
necessary. Too much oil will
collect inside the tool and be
blown out during the exhaust
cycle. ONLY USE PNEUMATIC
TOOL OIL. Do not use detergent
oil or additives as these
lubricants will cause accelerated
wear to the seal in the tool.
2) Use a small amount of oil on
all moving parts and pivots.
3
3) Dirt and water in the air
supply are major causes of
pneumatic tool wear. Use a
filter/oiler for better performance
and longer life. The filter must
have adequate flow capacity for
the specific application. Consult
the manufacturer’s instructions
for proper maintenance of your
filter.
4) Keep tools clean for better
and safer performance. Use
nonflammable cleaning
solutions (CAUTION: Such
solutions may damage O-Ring
and other tool parts) only if
necessary. DO NOT SOAK.
